Please check my English sentences. One thing I was always wondering in Germany is to wash dishes. In Germany, I think in other countries in Europe as well, when people wash dishes, they use a sponge with dish soap and soak them in filling water in the sink then put and dry them on the sink. I think it's so wierd. In Japan, we usually rinse dishes with water after washing with dish soap. I think there are still some soap or dirt on the sarfice of the dishes and water in the sink is so dirty as well. I am not sure but tap water has some problem?

One thing I was always wondering about in Germany is the way people wash dishes.
When people in Germany wash dishes, I think possibly in other European countries in Europe as well, when people wash dishes they use a sponge with dish soap and soak them in the sink, filling water in the sink then put and followed by drying them on the sink without rinsing them.
I think it's so weird.
In Japan, we usually rinse dishes with water after washing them with dish soap.
I think there are is still some soap or dirt on the surface of the dishes and the water in the sink is so very dirty as well.
I am not sure, but doesn't tap water have some problems too?

Thank you very much for your comment. Canadian do the both way! I remember that German sinks were so different and I didn't know how to use them. But now I understand! And I think we care about soap on the dishes after washing them.

Hi Reiko! Here in Canada, it can be done many ways. Many people use a dishwasher as mentioned by Edwin. As a child, my family also washed them the way you described as the German way. My auntie washed them the Japanese way and I wash them the German way, except I rinse them under hot running water before setting them to dry. My mom now washes them in one sink, rinses them in the next sink full of hot water, and then places them to dry in a rack on the counter. Unlike Japan, Canadian sinks usually have two smaller sinks rather than one large sink. As you can see, there are many ways to wash dishes here.
